Bond, James: Actors – Rejected

There were some actors who were considered for the role of James Bond and succeeded into getting film roles, but as supporting or opposing characters to Bond. The closest one of them so far is Sean Bean, who played a fellow agent Alec Trevelyan, who worked in the exact same Double-0 branch as Bond and received the same training and technological outfitting from Major Boothroyd/Q.

Joe Don Baker (1973): General Brad Whitaker in The Living Daylights; Jack Wade in GoldenEye and Tomorrow Never Dies
Michael Billington (1973, 1979, 1983): Sergei Barzov in The Spy Who Loved Me
Julian Glover (1962, 1967): Aristotle Kristatos in For Your Eyes Only
Sean Bean (1987): Alec Trevelyan in GoldenEye
Colin Salmon (2004): Charles Robinson in Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day
